How ignorant are you?

I don’t know why it is so hard to understand this point: no one is saying you don’t have struggles because you’re white. We’re saying the struggle you don’t have is being black in a country that systematically devalues blackness. That’s the one struggle you don’t have.

Get ready to be shunned lol

Very true, this should not be a taboo topic.

I’ll save my money

Sadly, the world is not ready for this talk. You're absolutely right. Let's be the change

Pick the best for the job regardless of there skin color, sex or gender, religion, what's so ever.

Spot. On.

We just got to stop with her. Has been.

Right on my friend.

I always got that you meant DEI done fairly and in an effective way, not Trump's anti DEI rhetoric.

Cue the shrieking zombies in 3...2...1...lol

May be it's supposed to be that and why are you telling us wrong vocals your not even a singer

for anyone who didn't know, it's by design; they literally record a track (or several) where the singer just whispers, to get the consonants sounding like that. I call it the Jack Antonoff aesthetic. Funny thing is in the actual movie (vs the album), Ariana sounds way better.

Now that I’ve finally switched to MainStage, it doesn’t feel as expressive when I play since it’s Midi vs the actual keyboard. Is this normal? Idk how to get the sound as expressive and don’t know what to do

sounds exactly the same to me💀

As a singer i compektely disabree. Why dont you show us how its supposed to sound by singing it yourself. I'd love to hear you do it better.

How about Sinfonia/OrchExtra??

Can you hit that note?

Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Lozenz Hart, Alan Jay Lerner, and Frederic Loewe are rolling in their graves.

My theory is that she just pushed herself for so many years doing wicked to win those Tonys and make that coin yes she’s everyone’s favorite because of how she performed it but at what cost, she hit those notes to please the fans and I think it just ended up backfiring on her vocal health. My friend did the Ariel choreography and flew her he had a lot to say about working with her so yeah…. But I often wonder if anybody in the company ever saw vocal damage coming and tried to warn her or was just too scared to be yelled at. When you compare her first performance in wicked to now it’s a night and day difference yeah people age but all of her keys have to be changed, and the song has to be slowed in order for her to make it manageable it’s beyond the fact that she just needs a “music adjustment”. She used to be a vocal beast but this is what happens when you push yourself vocally for decades to impress people. When I saw her in Clearwater Florida live I swear she was drunk like seriously i think she drank to much before the show she was off key speech was slurring just a mess. I think years of damage is just catching up to her and she’s going to milk every last dime until she can’t even speak. She literally sacrificed her voice for the fans we wanted those high notes she gave them but this is what ended up happening🤦‍♀️

Thanks for the video! I've been using Finale since 1989 (1.1) and I was overwhelmed thinking about changing 1000s of files into XML. It only took about 80 minutes to do all of my files! Relieved!

sound worse💀

what's the chord in part 3, on the first "I couldn't be *happier*"

bc Ari is more Airy.. that is a vocal technique and nothings wrong with that.

I would argue that instead of Ariana Grande, it’s Michelle Yeoh’s singing that needs your correcting and modifications. In fact A LOT of correcting.

You sound like a hater! Never review again!

The mic was actually in her hat and she sang this live.

You shut up you’re mad Oriana is a famous famous celebrity and you’re not bitch

Omg she sound good to me

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oooh mr sheffield!

can you give a link to the sheet music?

I’m with you, Kevin.

Bro its not even pre recorded, its live but for some reason on popular they changed the "popular"

My horny ass is actually looking forward to the Magic Mike musical. I am seriously anticipating a full-on Chip N Dale's performance 😂😂😂😂😂

They are all cash grabs unfortunately

This is so dissappointing. By any chance could you do sequel to show what we should invest in and look forward to? Or is it all just remakes and parodies

......wtf? seriously.

OK, hear me. I’ll tell Betty Boop was actually really good. I saw it in Chicago. Seriously it’s so catchy.

how about you sing it !

More rage content!!!!!

13 going on 30 & 17 again? Feels kind of redundant, but i suppose the age swaps are in opposite directions.

I would prefer this the other way around. Film more stage shows! I get that they don't want to ruin theatre but at the same time filming it would make it accessible for so many people and actually entice more people to go to live theatre. Hamilton got sooooo many people into theatre. I feel like filming more shows would actually boost the revenue of live theatre.

Playing in pits as a UK secondary school student (10th-grade for those across the pond) was possibly one of the biggest turning points for me and I will never back down on the fact that students can and should have the opportunity to play in musical pits. Sure, maybe it's not Broadway-quality sound (then again it's rather rare to find a Broadway-quality high school show!), but the experience never leaves you and enriches you in a way that basically no other music activity can. In that time, I played Bass for Sister Act & Bugsy Malone, then Keys 2 & Asst. MD for High School Musical - best experiences of my career so far; led me on into careers in technical theatre, now applying for universities to study sound design & stage management and taking every local pit & MD opportunity going!

YES! Another tip for choreographing to a recording - have your rehearsal pianist or MD record the dance tracks for your choreographer! I can't tell you how many MD's I've seen scramble to chop up the music (many times against the rules of the rental company, I might add) just to make the counts work, and it ends up sounding .... weird.

Its not gonna work 🤣
